1. Choose Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Rotation .

2. For the Simcenter Nastran, Simcenter 3D Multiphysics, Simcenter 3D Thermal, LS-DYNA, Simcenter Samcef, or Abaqus solver, you can apply the rotation load to the entire model or a portion of the model. In the Rotation dialog box, from the type list:To apply the rotation load to the entire model, select Whole Model.To apply the rotation load to a specified portion of the model, select Model Subset.

3. In the Model Object group, click Select Object and select the geometry or FE entities to which the rotation load will be applied.The entire model is selected by default unless Model Subset is selected from the Type list.

4. In the Direction group, specify a vector as the axis of rotation.For more information, see Vector dialog box.

5. Select a point to define the center of rotation.For more information, see Point dialog box.

6. Define the Angular Acceleration in one of these ways:Select Expression to use a constant value or expression to define the value. For more information, see Expressions.Select Field to define a value that varies with frequency, temperature, or time.For more information, see Using fields and expressions to define boundary conditions.

7. Define the Angular Velocity in one of these ways:Select Expression to use a constant value or expression to define the value.
